MASTERCLASS SPEAKING SESSION

Beyond the login: Expanding phishing resistance across the workforce identity lifecycle

Landy Naylor: Engineering Product Manager

Cindy Qu: Engineering Product Manager

Attackers have evolved beyond targeting the login page and are now deploying techniques across the entire identity lifecycle—from enrollment and fallback to post-login session hijacking and social engineering at the help desk. While phishing-resistant MFA is the gold standard, enterprise implementations are often still complex and costly.

This session provides a technical breakdown of new approaches to protecting users that is both highly secure and simple to deploy. We will explore practical methods to increase trust and security posture by:

  • Increasing the deployment of strong authentication factors – in a way that won’t make users or administrators bang their heads against their desks.

  • Improving post-login defenses by removing session cookies as an attack point.

  • Thwarting social engineering at the helpdesk by integrating identity verification to re-establish trust in high-risk scenarios.

Join us to learn how to secure the full identity attack surface without compromising on user experience or creating deployment headaches.

TRACK SESSION

Desktop authentication: Bridging MFA and Zero Trust

Sheila Vida: Technical Customer Success Specialist

Alex Rodriguez: Engineering Product Manager

“Identity as the new perimeter” is now a core principle in cybersecurity, driving the push for more advanced strategies. Yet certain industries and organizations, limited by budget or readiness, continue to rely on less secure options like telephony-based MFA due to its simplicity despite known risks.

Join this session and learn how a robust, managed desktop authentication solution offers a more secure alternative versus telephony-based options. Learn about deployment considerations, like navigating shared devices and see how in the process, this solution enables you to gain visibility of endpoints in your environment. Get practical takeaways by hearing a real-world example of an organization who minimized their telephony usage and improved device oversight across distributed teams.

SOLUTIONS THEATER SPEAKING SESSION

Resisting phishing with push notifications

Landy Naylor: Engineering Product Manager

One common refrain about stronger forms of MFA is that they are harder to deploy and that users push back to rolling out new factors or workflows. By introducing mechanisms to strengthen factors that are already in use, organizations can feed two birds with one snack: increasing their defense against MFA bypass, while asking very little of their workforce.

Join us at this theater session to hear more about how Duo is using Proximity Verification to bolster traditional MFA factors.

TRACK SPEAKING SESSION

Presenting prettier passkeys (for RPs)

Matthew Miller: Software Engineering Technical Leader

Supporting passkeys for auth is more than just accepting public keys and verifying signatures. Relying Parties are also responsible for helping users keep track of where their passkeys are, managing their collection of registered passkeys, and doing what they can to help passkey providers on the other end keep track of passkeys the RP will recognize. The good news? The FIDO Alliance and WebAuthn offer tools to Relying Parties orchestrate all this. From FIDO Convenience MDS to the Signals APIs, come see how you can offer your users a better passkeys management experience. And maybe even call out some antipatterns out in the wild...
